Stig, a LP is per se a wideband antenna. You don't get an ultra-high gain,
but a wide frequency range. So it should work on all frequencies in this
spectrum. But I can't tell you definitely, as don't know this type.

The best you can get here in Germany is the Titanex DLP series. The DLP11
goes from 14-30 MHz without any gaps, costs around 1300 DM. And there is a
bigger version called DLP15, but I don't know the specs and price. But
beware: The DLP11 is a HUGE beast and the assembling and mounting isn't a
job for a lazy afternoon.

Nils Schiffhauer uses the DLP11, and I can tell you it's a phantastic
antenna!
